Jitsi include external jar for customization

Question

Currently I am working on customization of Open Source Jitsi. And Somehow, I want to add 3rd party jar for customization.

I tried a lot to include 3rd party jar but I am facing this error.

So please help me to get rid of this error or provide some guidance to add 3rd party jar .

Answer 1

Add your JAR file (custom.jar) to the lib/ directory. Then edit the two files as indicated below:

jitsi.eml - Add the following entry to the file :

<lib name="custom.jar" scope="COMPILE">
    <relative-module-cls project-related="jar://$PROJECT_DIR$/lib/custom.jar!/"/>
</lib>

nbproject/project.xml - Search for <classpath mode="compile"> (there are two such occurences) and enlist your jar file as

<classpath mode="compile">lib/custom.jar:lib/felix.jar:[MORE JARS HERE]</classpath>

and

<classpath mode="compile">classes:lib/custom.jar:lib/felix.jar:[MORE JARS HERE]</classpath>

After editing the files, run ant clean; ant clean-bundles; ant make

And you are good to go.
